A rare opportunity for a highly experienced, creative and innovative individual; Granger & Co. is looking for a Global Development Chef to join our restaurant family. We have 19 venues, on three continents and serve 2.5 million people a year.

This is a unique and flexible job that involves international travel twice annually, working with the creative team to develop menus that perfectly express who we are and Bill Granger’s legacy.

ABOUT US

We create beautiful, welcoming neighbourhood restaurants, open all day, every day.

Our restaurants embody the unique Australian spirit of hospitality, which Bill defined internationally – easy-going generous excellence, with a smile.

Our food makes people feel good; it bursts with flavour, goodness and vitality. We source the best possible ingredients with a sunny, colourful lightness and the emotional comfort of food is as important to us as how it looks and tastes.

As a family-owned restaurant group still led by its founding core, that is constantly evolving and developing, we value all employees as respected individuals and foster diversity and inclusion, with everyone given a chance to share their voice and ideas. People stay with us and grow with us, many for over a decade.

Sustainability is considered in everything we do.

“The key to Bill’s global success is that he changes constantly, and yet has never changed. The principles remain the same – take something people love to eat, and make it fresher, lighter, more beautiful. Pay attention to detail. Create an environment everyone wants to be a part of. Bring people together, over coffee, over communal tables, over all-day menus, and make them feel good. Keep it fresh, keep it fresh, keep it fresh.” TERRY DURACK

THE ROLE

The heart of the role is to develop, create and present menus that embody our brand and positive spirit across our four territories, offering delicious food and drinks that are loved by our guests and inspire our teams.

You will be encouraged to share and implement innovative practices and new perspectives.

At least twice a year you will travel to our restaurants to review and assess the food, drink and brand standards across the four global territories. This also provides the chance to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, find inspiration and research new ideas.

The role offers flexibility that can support family obligations and sponsorship will be considered for the right candidate.

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a highly creative yet practical individual who views food and drink not just as sustenance, or personal expression, but as an emotional experience. Extensive knowledge of professional kitchens is essential.

The ideal candidate is an organised and self-motivated individual who is confident in presenting ideas, unafraid to take risks and has a learning mindset – but also relishes working with a team and is inspired by them. A strong nurturing leadership style is required, collaborative approach and a focus on fostering a positive and inclusive work environment.

A deep respect for authenticity and the use of sustainably sourced, high-quality ingredients is fundamental.

We are seeking someone with a strong familiarity with Australian food and culture, alongside a deep-rooted understanding of Bill Granger’s culinary style and holistic approach to hospitality.
